Dead hard is on the list of changes :)

How are they changing it, I would not of thought this a perk that needed change although I suppose it makes sense that people complain about it?

What would they do to alter DH?

Tokens? Protection hits for DH to take effect?

Adjust the exhaustion timer?

EDIT: Just now saw this👇🏽

Yhea what the other two have said makes sense, it prolly won't be a nerf or a buff just something to make it more consistent.

I mean come on guys, these devs would never hit the survs meta perks, after all the event is more surv sided.

It's not really buffing it. It's fixing it. Abilities should be judged and balanced around working correctly. DH, right now, does not, and is wildly inconsistent.

What do you even mean, It was under powered. I mean, look at the name of the perk. It's Dead Hard. So like, not only do you die when you use it, you die HARD. The perk owner's name is David KING, and you know what they say, the bigger they are the higher they fall. So being a King, David falls harder making Dead Hard actually Dead Harder, not only do you die but you die Hardester. And you can only use it while injured, I mean what if you're one shot while healthy (because Hillbilly got an unfair cross-map snipe I could've seen from a mile away if I actually looked around, but I shouldn't have to do that, I'm supposed to survive). And it goes on an unncessary cooldown of 40 seconds you can only regain while hooked, slugged, walking, doing objectives, literally everything except for running, or crouching... but you can't get it back when, and hear me out as this is absolutely insane, you can't get it back while running. What am I supposed to do, be a productive teammate? Obviously this perk needs a buff, this is not debatable, and you're obviously just an entitled killer main.

no /s this is serious

Well now it needs more buffs, Zombie $#%^ isn't even C tier. If it was about Vampire (the other dead) then yeah it would be a fine perk, but right now it's F tier.

Sharper timing on pallet dropping would be something you all may agree is a necessary design investment and hopefully consider looking into eventually, as well.

DH needed to be addressed! Not because of hold Shift+W and press E to avoid taking a hit, but because survivors would deny the killer counterplay and use it to get somewhere safe.

My killer main dudye says that DH shouldn't exist due to the fact that killers have to capitalize on survivors mistakes and DH corrects a mistake!

My survivor side really doesn't care because after I stopped using the perk, I realized that all it did was cover up for my lack skill and helped me hide instead of learning from my mistakes!

Why are you going back on it? Don't go back on it you literally said "Any changes to its function will be for design reasons, not due to implementation details." after saying "The intention was not to say we're changing it function entirely".

I mean not to say that I think most will believe you even if I grant you on going back on this, we are talking about buff/nerf to one of the most fundamental survivor perks.

I want to say its safe to say Dead Hard won't get a buff, so the changes likely aren't a buff (unless you guys don't even pay attention to the perks that are commonly used, much like the perks that are broken but aren't commonly used such as Object Of Obsession which I will add NEEDS changes as its only used as a perk to bully).

So the only other possible outcome would be a nerf, but that's just as unlikely with your guys track record on balancing but not only that but I don't see it to common someone complaining about Dead Hard, not to say its not unfair, its just not everyone's concern at the moment with the firestorm you guys have created as of late.

So logically there likely won't be any real chance to the perk taking everything previous into account so by its nature saying something like "rebuilding it from the ground up." is misleading.

You just admitted that you do both programming as well as design to I don't understand how this could be a misunderstanding that is so drastic as that would require a significant amount of lack of thinking before stating something, in either case then however ok then.

Do you really expect a response, much less a helpful one, after being this passive aggressive (even if it is warranted)?

Indirectly yes by giving it it's old functionality additional to the newer use for distance survivor developed out of the problem.

Just like killer made slugfest more prominent when sabo squads could still permanently break hooks.

They didn't go back on anything. They said in the original quote they are changing its implementation due to server side issues with timing, not it's functionality. "If" they were going to change it's functionality it would be for design reasons, but that is not what they are doing, they never said they were.

Reread what they replied, my quote, their quote, and both messages because im not going to repeat what I already have said.
